Interactions Between Microorganisms and a Seaweed-Derived Biostimulant on the Growth and Biochemical Composition of L.

Natural Product Communications, 2020
Natural biostimulants such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) and seaweed extracts are used in agriculture to improve crop yield in an environmentally friendly approach. However, interaction effects between different biostimulants are seldom

Ethephon Improved Stalk Strength of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Mainly through Altering Internode Morphological Traits to Modulate Mechanical Properties under Field Conditions

Agronomy, 2019
Stalk strength is critical for reducing maize stalk lodging and maintaining grain yield. Ethephon has been widely applied to molding compact plant-type to reduce the lodging risk in maize production.

IPT9, a cis-zeatin cytokinin biosynthesis gene, promotes root growth

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Cytokinin and auxin are plant hormones that coordinate many aspects of plant development. Their interactions in plant underground growth are well established, occurring at the levels of metabolism, signaling, and transport.

Growth-Promoting Characteristics of Fungal and Bacterial Endophytes Isolated from a Drought-Tolerant Mint Species Endostemon obtusifolius (E. Mey. ex Benth.) N. E. Br

Plants, 2023
Endophytes are primarily endosymbiotic bacteria and fungi that colonize the interior tissues of their host plant. They enhance the host plant’s growth and attenuate adverse effects of biological stress. Endophytic species of many indigenous plants are an

Monitoring of Cotton Boll Opening Rate Based on UAV Multispectral Data

Remote Sensing, 2023
Defoliation and accelerating ripening are important measures for cotton mechanization, and judging the time of defoliation and accelerating the ripening and harvest of cotton relies heavily on the boll opening rate, making it a crucial factor to consider.

Responses of Succeeding Wheat to Cotton Harvest-Aid Application and Biochar Amendment

Agronomy
Chemical harvest aids facilitate mechanical cotton harvesting, but their potential carryover effects on succeeding wheat remain uncertain. Two independent site-year field experiments were conducted in Beijing during 2021–2022 and in Hejian, Hebei ...

Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota [PDF]

, 2018
By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unknown.
